102 Notes on North American Lepidoptera. 



Anarta melanopa, Thunb., is also found on Mt. Washington, 

 and appears to be of common occurrence ; it is interesting to 

 observe its successive broods ; it first emerges on the Ledge 

 from June 15 to July 1, according to the season ; as the 

 summer gradually advances it comes out higher up, and from 

 July 4 to 10 is found in perfect condition near the Summit, 

 while below at this time none but worn and ragged females

are to be seen. 



Eutkicopis, nov. genus. 



Eyes naked. Ocelli present. Palpi comparatively stout, the joints 

 hidden by long, coarse, uneven hair. Front very full, rounded; without 

 a projecting knob or horizontal plate. Antennae of the male simple; by 

 the aid of an ordinary lens the segments are seen to be well separated 

 from each other, and each provided with a short tooth. Thorax rounded, 

 moderately stout. Abdomen reaching to the anal angle of the posterior 

 wings, untufted. All the tibiae non-spinose, the anterior tibiae without 

 the claws found in allied genera. The anterior wings short and trian- 

 gular, with the angles well marked ; the uervures are very strong at their 

 commencement, particularly the median and submedian ; the posterior 

 wings short and broad, having all the angles rounded. The thorax and 

 head are clothed above and beneath with long, coarse hair. 



This well-marked little genus differs from others of the 

 group, by the non-spinose tibiae ; we consider it distantly 

 allied to Omia and Hellolonche ; to these genera it is related 

 by the very hirsute head and body parts. 



Eutricopis nexilis, nov. sp. 



Expanse 18 mm . Length of body 8 mm . Ground color of the anterior 

 wings dull olivaceous gray, with mingled pink scales, resembling that of 

 H. modicella, Grote ; the median space is occupied by three white spots, 

 the largest is quadrate, situated between the median and submedian nerv- 

 ules, above and attached to this spot, another large spot occupying the 

 place of the reniform ; in the ordinary place of the orbicular spot appears 

 another small, partially obscured spot; beyond, smooth and unspotted, 

 overlaid with pink scales, through which passes a broad, even, olivaceous, 

 subterminal band ; fringe tipped with white. Posterior wings black, with 

 white fringes, and two large, united, subquadrate discal white spots. 

 Beneath, on the anterior wings, the white markings above are reproduced,
